As we all know, remarketing is one the most important feature in Google AdWords that helps us reconnect our website visitors or YouTube channel subscribers/viewers easily. But, targeting on their daily search, shopping behavior and competitor tracking were not possible earlier on YouTube.

Keeping this in mind, Google just launched a new feature called Custom Affinity Audience in AdWords that will help advertisers remarket their website visitors and YouTube channel in a different way.

Suppose if you have a beauty product with your own retail website, then you can reach every customer who visited your website, as well as every one of your competitor’s websites of this week and even targets people who visited specific pages.

Custom Affinity Audience is what you create yourself and AdWords by telling Google to build for your website or YouTube channel a tailored audience of potential prospects based on their most recent website visits. Google then uses these website URLs or YouTube channel ID’s to find people who browse for similar content across all the web in your area whether or not they visited your competitor’s website.

If you are excited enough by now, then here is the procedure of creating a custom affinity audience on your Google AdWords account.
